The 2012 SBN Pitcher of the Year Award winners are Justin Verlander of the Detroit Tigers in the American League, and R.A. Dickey of the New York Mets in the National League.

Dickey received 13 of 35 first-place votes in the NL voting, narrowly edging Clayton Kershaw of the Dodgers and Gio Gonzalez of the Nationals. Verlander received 23 of 26 first-place votes, with David Price of the Rays (2) and Jered Weaver of the Angels (1) also receiving votes.

My NL ballot was Dickey, Gonzalez, Kershaw, Cueto, Cain. My AL ballot was Verlander, Price, King Felix, Weaver, and Sale.
